God’s Opportunities

Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.  (Act 26:32)

Most will say ‘what a waste’ or was that a foolish decision. Man’s view of waste or lost opportunity could be of highest heavenly value. When our spirit is connected with God’s Spirit our actions conducted in faith will yield eternal significance. As long as we look at loosing liberty from the human perspective, true freedom that Jesus gives can never be realized; it takes letting go of one to obtain the higher.

Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.  (Act 27:24)

God will always confirm His will by opening the right doors to greater responsibilities and possibilities annulling all our fears and concerns. He Who sends will also provide the necessary to ensure that our journey of faith will prosper and accomplish its end. God will ensure His will and His people who walk by faith will never fail.

Unspiritual Agreement

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.  (Eph 4:30)

This gem of a verse is placed in between statements that outline outworking of the inner man, whether be of a ‘new’ or ‘old’ man. This reminds us that the outworking of what Christ has put in bears significance in the journey of faith. It begins with the renewal in the spirit of our minds (Eph 4:23).

To be renewed in the spiritual sense is to will ourselves to be submitted to God’s divine will. If not we will search Scripture and spiritual meaning that agrees with our spirit. It is not to find things that agree with us, but to let every humanly conceivable spiritual element that is deeply rooted to be uprooted and totally replaced with God’s Spirit and His values. Even the best of the human spirit opposes everything God initiated, because the source is not of Him. If we look for spiritual agreement, than we grieve the Holy Spirit of God.
